Today I took a video of Alex riding her bicycle while riding behind her. It was a little hard to hold the video camera but not too bad - that’s why it’s a little shaky. We have a great time riding together but every time we go it seems to be really humid - we come home drenched.
Yesterday when we were out at lunch Alex said that she was never getting married. My friend Jim looked at me and said, “Maybe she could marry Knox Pitt.” Knox is one of Brad Pitt’s new twins. Alex looked up and shouted, “My name is not Mouse Pit.”
Alex got her first bike with training wheels for her birthday. On Thursday, after she got it, Marc tried to show her how to ride it but it was very unsuccessful. We were all tired, Alex was crying, I was impatient, and Marc was annoyed. I thought, “how are we going to teach her how to do this?”
Today, a couple of hours after her birthday party with her friends, she wanted me to take her out to practice riding. I really didn’t want to because of what happened the other night and because it was so humid out. It was way to hot and sticky today to deal with that kind of frustration.
But something happened in the last two days and Alex now knows how to ride. Here’s a video I took. The quality isn’t great because it was with my phone.
Happy Birthday! I hope you have a great day - it’s still hot but not so humid so can we go to the park? I can’t wait to have a party with you and Daddy tonight!! Love you!

It is well known and documented that Kim has a habit of reading during meals while at the kitchen table - this irks me to no end.
Yesterday Kim, Alex, and I were in Starbucks Coffee when for a few moments Kim left the table. Alex was perusing the free newspapers near us, grabbed the classifieds, returned to her seat across from me, and with a sort of clever grin said, “I be Kim…” I couldn’t stop myself from laughing.
